An intelligent gentleman Of q for
mer whisky town in Texas said to us
yesterday "The liquor men are beat
this time. Prohibition will sweep
the State" A great many are Of this
opinion. But let no one be deceived.
Prohibition will sweep the State on
~ by the utmost vigilance and exer-
lion of the Prohibitionists. This can
hardly be hoped for. 1t will require
hard work and good deal OF it to
carry the State ut all. Let no friend
of prohibition feel at liberty to be idle
for single day, or to let any chance
pass to gain votes. Clubs should be
organized everywhere, the matter
talked up, and literature scattered
broadcast. The Anti-Prohibitionists
are at work and spreading their liter
aturo everywhere they can get an OPP
portunity. The victory will be hard
to win, but easy to lose.-Baptist

Portrait of Wendell Phillips.

His appearance physically was in
all respects in his favor. There was
hardly a point in his make up that
ono would desire to have other than
it was. He had most commanding
presence in whatever situation hewa
placed. Tall, spare person, we'll pro-
portioned, head large and symmetri-
cal, hair abundant, not dark. The
expression of his face charmningly
beautiful, an eagle eye, very penetrat'
ing under q high but not massive
brow. His nose was large, but well
formed his mouth always 30 beauti-
ful and pleasant that it was really
the most gratifying feature of all.
A more graceful figure on the pub
lie platform was not to be found, and
as public speaker he was entirely
unsurpassed. His style of speaking
was remarkly quiet and conversation
al. He was never noisy, boisterous
and ranting. When speaking his
voiced was subdued in tone, but dis
tinct and musical, charming to all
listeners even when his subject was
distasteful, as was often the case in his
anti-slavery differences land temper
.ance philippines or other roformatory
addresses where he spoke the truth
without restraint, His speeches, al
ways delivered without notes, were
made with very little gesticulation,
and yet the gentle swing of his arms
and the motion of his hands played
an important part in his oratory.-J.
w. McLoud in The Current.

It's Always the Way.

What's always the way?" inquired q mutual
friend of the two men who happened along
just then. why, just this" replied the
first speaker: you see Smith, here. the last
time met him he had one of the worst
coughs you ever heard. He complained of
loss of appetite, of night-sweats, of low
spirits and other unmistakable premonitory
symptoms of consumption. l told him to
get supply of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery at once. He did SO, and look at
him now! Did you ever see healthier
looking man? The Discovery has snatched
thousands from consumptives' graves. I
knew it would cure Smith. It's always the

It is the duty of every person who has
used B0sohees German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Group, Arthma, Pneumonia, and in fact oil
throat and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all druggists to recommend it
to tho poor, dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as so, 900 dozen bottles were
sold last year, and no one case where it fail
cd was reported. Such medicine as the
